Default Rebound question on New CS- help?

I need the groups experience. I have installed my new Teins. I have picked my ride height- just under 2 fingers and I love it. I have it set at full stiff and for the most part love it though I may test softer settings to see if I like it as well just differently. The last thing I was wondering is...
There is another adjustment down at the base of the shock (Hex). Is this for rebound? And how does one go about adjusting it to their liking? The instructions don't really say much. The car feels great in flat turns but if you add in some bumps the car feels out of harmony...
My tires are new and have updated all the typical stuff on a higher miles
2GenGS4 b/joints, f/control arm bushes, outer t/rods and the car was just aligned today. I don't want to just start spinning it without a little confidence first.
Can anyone lend a hand or a thread...? I did a search but nothing matched my question.

Thanks All

Have you upgraded the sway bars (Daizen, TRD)?

As you improve some components, weaknesses in others will exacerbate.

I haven't but I did replace the oem sway bushings with Daizens.
My thought now is I need a little knowledge on this other adjustment on the coilovers to get the ride right....anyone???
